I did a netstat and it was immediately clear that somehow my little VM had become a Tor node! I shut it down, booted the VM off of a Kaspersky rescue/recovery disc, did a scan with it, and it turned up some malware. I have no idea how that VM got infected. I do not surf the web on that VM. It is used almost exclusively for running an MP3 tagging application and the Directory Opus file manager for managing files on my local network (the only thing I really can't leave behind in favor of Linux' options... nothing touches Directory Opus for file management).http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/08/tor-usage-doubles-in-under-a-week-and-no-one-knows-why/?comments=1&start=0That's some scary shit right there if it's true and as stated.
